Discovering Gallina Saddle

The Gallina Saddle, located between Falzarego Pass and Monte Averau in the territory of Cortina d’Ampezzo, is a captivating hiking destination where the natural beauty of the Ampezzo Dolomites meets the historical legacy of World War I. Part of the Open-Air Museum of the Great War, the saddle is accessible via well-marked trails starting from Rifugio Col Gallina, which is reachable year-round.

The route winds through alpine meadows, dolomitic rock formations, and historic military outposts, offering an immersive experience that blends breathtaking landscapes with wartime heritage. Visitors can explore trenches, rock-carved tunnels, and military walkways, all well-preserved and open to the public, making this area a living history book in the heart of the mountains. It’s an ideal spot for cultural hiking, landscape photography, and sustainable tourism.

From a scenic perspective, Gallina Saddle offers unforgettable views of the Tofane, Lagazuoi, Sella Group, and Monte Averau, especially at sunset when the peaks glow with the warm hues of the enrosadira—the alpenglow phenomenon unique to the Dolomites. In summer, the area is popular with hikers and families, while in winter it becomes a route for snowshoeing and ski touring, thanks to its proximity to the Cortina ski area.

Gallina Saddle is a must-visit for those who want to experience the Dolomites in an authentic way, where nature, history, and alpine silence come together.
